Profile

I’m a copy editor and proofreader who specializes in scientific and technical subjects. I can help simplify text and clarify complex ideas that native and non-native English speakers are more likely to understand.

I have a degree in biology and a strong interest in life science subjects, herbal medicine, nutrition, and well-being. My editing experience ranges from research reports in forestry and documentation for software developers to white papers on travel and health insurance. I’m experienced in editing with a focus on translation and search engine optimization (SEO), and in assessing content for appropriate legal language and trademark and brand compliance. I’ve revised text and navigation structure for websites, worked in a UI/UX role in designing the navigation and usability of record-keeping software, and I can apply HTML and XML tags.

Here’s what some of my colleagues and clients have to say about me and my work:

This is perfect. Thank you! When I review these articles, I'm looking at content and messaging, so it’s easy to miss glaring errors like having a source’s name spelled two ways. Thank goodness I sent this to you. Your queries are great, too.

Anne is an essential member of our team, helping us create content that is accurate, concise, and conforms to company guidelines and best practices. Anne has that rare combination of skills in being able to create useful products while also taking the time to understand difficult concepts to make the products even better. She makes herself available to help solve problems and answer questions, displaying mentorship qualities that go far to improve the team. On top of this, her good humour and approachability make it easy for people to understand and accept the sometimes difficult feedback of an editor.

In my working experience with Anne, she has proven herself to be a very resourceful and respectful colleague. She is extremely intelligent, and has always taken the time to answer any questions in a thoughtful and timely manner. Her insight into any situation has always been proven to be an added resource, whether it is professionally or personally.
